Good point, but nope, even with 'CFLAGS+=-save-temps' it succeeds.
Next attempt, "make V=1" returns the following command line:
m68k-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../urcu -I../.. -I../.. -I../../tests/common -g -g -O2 -pthread -MT test_urcu_defer.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/test_urcu_defer.Tpo -c -o test_urcu_defer.o test_urcu_defer.c
when I add CFLAGS=-save-temps (or CFLAGS+=, it makes not difference), it
turns out that the bit "-g -O2 -pthread" is dropped; it may be either
due to lack of pthread support, or the optimization level. Feels like
someone failed to read the automake documentation properly (CFLAGS is
supposed to remain unset; and indeed checking out configure.ac reveals
some CFLAGS munging that shouldn't happen).
Anyway, that means the most likely cause is the optimizer.
